Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 617 What Miracle Can There Be?
Xu Chu felt the sky dim for a while, and when he woke up, he felt the arrow wound on his arm, and suddenly he was furious and tore off the arrow with the flesh.The intense pain made him roar like a mad bear, so frightened that even the doctors dared not come forward to treat him.

At this time, Xu Chu was really in a trance: Was everything true just now?Did he really not even rush up the city wall, but was shot back by a storm of arrows?

how can that be!

After more than ten days of continuous siege, the city wall was washed down again, and the soldiers in Lujiang City were still resisting?

Xu Chu grabbed the side and timidly straightened him up. He growled and asked, "Is it true that I was sent back just now? Was that rain of arrows a hallucination?"

"Lieutenant Xu..." The poor doctor couldn't bear Xu Chu's strength. Fortunately, a giant hand suddenly appeared, and Dian Wei's voice rescued the doctor: "Zhongkang, the enemy is indeed still resisting!"

"It's impossible!" Xu Chu dropped the medical craftsman and became even more irritable: "Liu Xun has never been a famous general. He is greedy, stingy, ungrateful and mean, and the soldiers have long been renounced. What's more, he has already disappeared at this time. How can the Lujiang soldiers still be stubborn at this time?"

Dian Wei was questioned by Xu Chu, and his broad face was covered with layers of doubts.Dian Wei really didn't understand why those soldiers in Lujiang resisted!It is said that the biggest support of the soldiers defending the city is the city wall. The fall of the city wall is the biggest blow to the soldiers defending the city. Not to mention that the flood has already destroyed the city wall. .

Looking far away, the reality is that Dian Wei can even clearly see that as the fighting resumed, not only did the soldiers in Lujiang City not escape, but those soldiers who survived being washed down the city wall climbed against the current. Returning to the city wall, he tried his last courage and physical strength to fight Cao Jun to the death.

What exactly is this for?
Dian Wei couldn't figure it out at all. Everything in front of him completely deviated from his understanding of the battle - it didn't conform to common sense!
But today may be the day to break all common sense.When Dian Wei turned his gaze back to the army, his expression suddenly changed: "My lord, what is this for? No, my lord wants to come to the front line in person!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were responsible for Cao Cao's comfort. At this moment, seeing Cao Cao boarding the boat to direct the general attack, the two immediately strode forward, grabbed Cao Cao and begged, "My lord, you must not!"

But Cao Cao didn't even struggle, he just looked back at Dian Wei and Xu Chu with eyes as calm as ice, and said softly but firmly, "Let go, you two will either fight with me, or just wait here .Other words, don't need to say too much!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were startled, and then they looked at each other tiger-eyed, bowed and said, "I would like to fight to the death with my lord!"

"Cao Cao is crazy?" Liu Xie put down his binoculars again, looked at the warship on the water in disbelief, and said in astonishment: "The commander is the soul of the whole army. Such a mistake?"

Just like the reason why the emperor didn't pay private visits at all, it is extremely rare for the chief general to go to the battlefield in person-Liu Xie and Cao Cao are also counted on the battlefield at this time, but going to the battlefield and charging into the battle are not the same thing at all.In the era of the Han Dynasty, when warfare had long been developed into a system, the real role of the chief general was to sit in the central army and command the overall situation. Only when he was sure of victory or when he was forced to do so, would the chief general take the lead.

There is another situation, which is much more common.That is to say, the main generals are super-class generals such as Lu Bu and Ma Chao. These sudden battlefield intuition and unparalleled force can almost guarantee that they will come back intact after fighting vigorously on the battlefield.This kind of situation will make the soldiers of our own army to forge ahead with high spirits and not fear death, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Once the main general is cut off by the enemy or pierced by an arrow, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the morale of our own army .

And even if only the main general is repelled, it will greatly shake the morale of the army.Because of this, Lu Bu and Ma Chao's defeat at the hands of Cao Cao cannot be said to be entirely due to this reason, but it definitely cannot escape this factor.

Cao Cao's visit to the front line in person this time, in the terms of gamblers, is "all-or-nothing", and in terms of military tactics, it is "put to death and survive"-this dangerous and dangerous way really exceeded Liu Xie's expectations.

But on the other hand, Liu Xie had to admit that it was indeed the most correct decision for Cao Cao to take the risk himself: now Lujiang City is like a weathered sandcastle, which can collapse with just one last kick.Letting all the army push up is just a matter of wind and rain. On the contrary, Cao Cao is so desperate, maybe it is possible to gather all the strength to launch a sudden blow!
For a moment, Liu Xie fell into a very strange feeling.On the one hand, his heart was hot and agitated, and he was so excited by the murderous aura of the bloody battlefield that he wanted to kill a lot; on the other hand, his flesh and blood felt endlessly cold, and he felt deeply desolate for such a tragic battle.

With Cao Cao's appearance, the sound of the golden drum in Cao's camp suddenly became louder, and the rumbling murderous aura followed Cao Cao's ship to quickly penetrate into the battlefield.Seeing the big flag with the word "Cao" on the ship, all the Cao troops suddenly became angry, and the generals of all the ministries were even more angry, and the vigorous and passionate roar suddenly rose to a higher level.Cao Cao sat on the bow of the boat, staring coldly at the gap in the city wall ahead, neither shouting nor flinching.

Finally, when Cao Cao's boat came within range of the Thunderbolt Chariot, Cao Cao stood up abruptly, and burst out laughing loudly, suppressing all the yelling and shouting on the battlefield: "A certain Yanzhou shepherd Cao Mengde! How dare an ignorant traitor Resisting the heavenly army, you don’t know your death is approaching. A certain family stands on the bow of this ship, and if you have any means, just use it!”

This is provocation, naked provocation!No, this is simply insulting!
Sure enough, after Cao Cao yelled, there was a sudden commotion on the city wall.Then Wei Yan's voice came from far away, dignified and cautious: "All guns correct their targets, and destroy Cao Cao's ships first with all their strength!"

After the catapults were ready, Cao Cao's warship advanced more than [-] feet, getting closer and closer to the city wall.Wei Yan gave an order, and more than a dozen boulders the size of millstones bounced off the thunderbolt car, and threw them at Cao Cao.

Amidst the exclamations and shouts of the soldiers of the two armies, and amidst Cao Cao's loud laughter, the boulder fell heavily on the water behind the ship, instantly arousing a row of high water columns, like erecting a wall. Crystal walls!
Arrows and rocks came like rain, but they couldn't stop Cao Cao. Afterwards, arrows rained like rain. Cao Cao still stood proudly at the bow of the ship. But you don’t know how to use it—we’d better wait for Honshu to go up the city wall and take you down, and then teach you how to defend the city!”

At this moment, Liu Xie's body couldn't help shaking.How much he expected that Cao Cao would die in Lujiang, but on the other hand, he felt that such a result was justified.

The description of Cao Cao by later generations either said that he took the emperor to order the princes, or that Guandu ruled the north with fire.It seems that Cao Cao, who has taken up the time, is the darling of the heavens. Just seeing him, a thief, eats meat.Even if someone realized this, what they said afterwards was the fire in Chibi, or Tongguan was killed by Ma Chao and his beard was cut off, or his son Cao Ang was kicked out by Zhang Xiu in Nanyang.

In short, Cao Cao's image on the battlefield seems to be two extremes, either the thieves eat meat, or the thieves are beaten.Then Cao Cao's victory or defeat seemed to be doomed.

But it wasn't until this moment, until Liu Xie saw Cao Cao's arrogance and arrogance with his own eyes, that he realized that every successful person in history was a product of chance and necessity.Cao Cao did not have such fiery heroism, so he is not Cao Cao.But God took him back in a nap, and he could only disappear in history.

Sure enough, only by experiencing history personally can we know the ruthlessness and treachery of history.

However, it is a very bad result for Liu Xie that God is so engrossed in taking care of Cao Cao right now.Cao Cao took the lead and was not broken by arrows and stones. It was like a god's help.Cao Jun's momentum suddenly increased up and down, and the soldiers all paddled desperately, striving to be the first, and they approached ten feet in an instant.

Seeing this situation, and being ridiculed by the enemy like this, the Lujiang soldiers were not inaction.What's more, after fighting for a long time, their bows and arrows will be exhausted, and they will be pressed up by Cao Jun's bows and arrows. For a while, many soldiers were shot by the rain of arrows, and they all fell into the water crying, and soon the water surface was dyed red.

Xu Chu was sure it was not a hallucination this time, he jumped into the enemy army without waiting for the ship to approach the city wall.The big knife in his hand slashed down in the air, and directly split a soldier into two pieces. After the blood burst out and Xu Chu protruded, his sturdy body was like a demon god.He entered the enemy's formation, and no one is his enemy!
At this time, it was finally time to fight hand to hand.Cao Cao still stood proudly at the bow of the ship, he wanted to see: what miracles can happen in Lujiang City after the matter is over!
